I just love Pincushions and making them from vintage pieces is one of my favorite things to do. My Daughter found several of these Milk glass candy dishes and brought them to me. I love how they can hold scissors and stitch pickers. So I decided they need to become pincushions.

I just sewed a few hexies together and stuffed it with walnut shells, lavender and batting.

He will be going with us to pick them up but he doesn't know yet one is for him!

Babydoll Southdown produce a medium fine wool that we are planning to add to our alpaca fiber. Should be soooo soft.

These sheep are known for not challenging fencing and being easy on their environments. Babydolls are often used in orchards and vineyards for mowing grass and cleaning up fallen fruit without damaging trees and plants. These small sheep require less space than their larger counterparts. Their gentle attitudes also makes them great companion animals for families wanting a more docile breed of livestock.

Quilting, cooking, decorating and shopping are my favorite things! Each day is different adventure! I am so glad you stopped by. We live on a 5 acre farm with Alpacas, Babydoll sheep, a pig, 2 dogs, 2 turkeys and lots of chickens. So we are always learning and doing something new. This is our journey....
